A clatter of horses' h oofs was heard at the front of the thouse and some one dismounted. In .another moment there was a tramp of .cavalry boots in the hall; all turned to -the open door-and there stood Cap -tain Cameron Fitz Hugh. F or a moment he regarded Mark and Laura sternly; then advancing a few -steps he bowed low to rLaura. "Captain." said the major rising. "I im-sppose it is useless to deny to this lady and gentleman that I deemed it any duty to make sure of their iden tity before allowing them to pass. The -family to which they claim to belong -As known to you; therefore I sent to .you for information. I see you have ~answered my inquiry In person. If you vouch for them I shall be happy to pass them in the morning, and shall -apologize for their detention at the -same time-my excuse being the cause we serve." All eyes were fixed on F!tz Hugh. Mark's and Laura's with ill concealed -anxiety. "This was Miss Fain," said Fitz Hugh. "She would not be traveling .as any man's wife unless she were mar ried to him. If you detain them, yo)u - must do so on your own responsibi) ity." Both Mark and Laura drew n sigh -of relief. "I have no desire to detain them." .said Taliaferro. "after what you have -saId, but it is altogether too late for emto proceed tonight. The only - mends 1 can make for discommoding them Is to make them comfortable Mrs. Green, your room Is ready for .you." "Captain." said Mark. "may I beg a -cIgar? 1 usually smoke at this time of .night." "Here are cigars, gentlemen." said * Taliaferro, producing a box "If you smoke. captain." added Mark. ."I shall be pleased with your comn pany." "With pleasure." All lighted cigars, and Mark anid Fitz Hugh strolled out on the verand2-. "Captain," said Mark as soon as they -were outside. "I have never met a man .'wbm .1 hareo naired. 90 bonored. N~ R .erican Press Association). as you, j_nd yetf ~~a r66~ed'you of your love. This last act of kindness to her and to ne, so well indicating your magnanimity, is more than I can bear. I cannot accept anything more, even for her sake. I cannot stay here to be shielded by you and behind her skirts. I am about to leave this ve randa aid fly to the Union lines. Thank God. I have met one who is the soul of honor, in whose charge I leave my wife. Consider her under your care. She will doubtless need all you can give her, for I never expect to see her again. I shall doubtless be captured before tomorrow noon. If you were not my enemy, if you had not been my rival, I would love you as a brother." Without waiting for a reply Mark left the veranda, and in another mo ment was lost in the darkness. Captain Fitz Hugh stood as one pet rified. Should he. keep the secret Laura's secret? He leaned against a pillar of the veranda and passed his hand over his/brow. He could not stab Laura; he could not even betray the man who had left her In his care. He did nothing. Half an hour had elapsed when Tal laferro, who had been busying him self with some papers, began to won der what had become of the two men. He got up and went out on the veranda. "Where's Green?" he asked quickly. "Gone." "Gone?" "Yes, gone half an hour ago." "What does this mean. Cameronr "It Imenus that i have been keeping from you what i ean keep no longer or I would. This man Green is a Federal spy." "Cameron-my friend-great God are you a traitor? There is something back-tell me. quick " "Twice before fe has crossed my path. He was taken and tried at Chat tanooga. I was detailed to defend him. I had never seen him before. He was found guilty and sentenced to be hanged, but escaped. "When I met him again it ,was at the Fains' house. Laura Fain, the wo man upstairs, then my betrothed, but -ow-his wife, was concealing him." "Well?" "I saw that she was infatuated with him. She claimed him for her guest. I" "Well, go on." "I couMt not honorably inform on him." "Oh, Cameron - what absurdity - what idiocy-what" "This afternoon you sent for me. i came. I saw tgie man I. had seen twice before-with my-with the loveliest, the noblest of all women-his wife." The major only stared at his friend; he had no words to express his feel Ings, his sympathy. "When we came out here he told mie that he- would accept nothing further for himself at my hands; that he would not shield himself behind a woman's skirts. He walked away before me." "And you ?" "1 permitted him." Taliaferro shuddered. He knew that his friend by his act had placed him self in a terrible position. "Cameron." he said, "do you know you are liable to be shot for this?" "1 do" "I always told you." the major went en anxiously, impa,tiently, "that your notions of honor were absurd, quixot "The highest sense of honor is never quixotic. It Is best fitted for a Chris tian, a soldier and a gentleman." "And do you expect me to let this spy go?" "No. Protect yourself - the cause. Send after him. It Is I who have con nived at his escape, not you. You must not suffer."~ "The cause alone is en'ough." "Orderly," he called to a man stand ig by the gate. The soldier a pproached and stood at attention. "Go tell Captain Heath that the man who was here this evening has gone. and I want him followed and brought back. Tell nim to send by all the roads." The man saluted and went away. "Cameron," said the major, after giv ing the order, "God grant that this act of yours may not be known. It will not be, for I am the only one who knows ot it, and it wiLlu nver pass m.y lips." "1 am responsible for my act, and if It becomes known I trust I shall have courage to meet the consequences like a man. The young wife who was left In my charge I' leave in yours. I would gladly protect her myself, but I prefer to spare her the pain of being under my protection. If her husband is taken and she needs me, send for As soon as he had gone Tallaferro called a negro woman, and told her to go to the lady's room and ask her (if she had not gone to bed) to come to him, as he had a communication to make. "Madam." said the major. deferen ri.m i --vym. flosbnetha gone" ~ "Wher ?" as'e Laura, with a blanched cheek "He walked away in the presence of Captain Fitz Hugh, who would not de tain him or inform me that he had gone till he was obliged to do so." Laura clasped her bands and mutely breathed a blessing on the man who had spared her Lusband for Der sake. "How long tas he been gone?" she asked. "More than blf an hour." "Have you ordered his pursuit?" "I have." "And he has a start of" "Thirty minutes." "You'll uever take him. He bears n charmed life." "And now, madam, what can I do for you? My friend charged me to see that you have every attentio." "I will go on and join my mother." "Tonight?" "Tonigut-now." "Your pbneton shall be at the door in a few minutes. You must accept my escort. There Will be a guard be sides." In ten minutes Laura. Major Talia ferro seated beside her. six stalwart cavalry men in gray about her, was on her way to join her mother. Mark knew the.direction of the roads leading from Anderson, and believed that he could avoid the pickets. Mak ing his way over a space covered with bushes and a low growth of timber, he struck the road by which he had come that day at a point beyond the vedette. Then half a mile's run brought him. I out of breath, to a house. The occu pants were not asleep, and Mark suc ceeded by persuasion and threats in getting a horse to take him to Slack's, promising to send It back the next day with liberal pay for its use. He arrived at Slack's shortly before midnight, and his horse fell exhausted in the yard. Slack received him with a shotgun pointed through the' cracks of the door. Mark made himself known and asked for his uniform and his arms. The old man got them for him, and taking them to the stable Mark put them on. Then he went to I the stall where his horse stood. The mare knew her ister when he threw his arms about her neck and seemed I as glad to see him as he was to see her. "Ah, Madge, my darling! Once on your back., old girl, and the devil may catch me it be can." I He lost no time in putting the bit- in her mouth and strapping on the sad dle Then, putting his foot in the leather covered stirrup, he lifted him self into his seat. For the first time In ten days Mark felt the comfort of being in the saddle with his arms about him. A ,few steps tooik him out of the barn; then.' tur'ning his 'horse's head in the direction from which he had ap proached the place with Souri, he rode away among the trees. Before going a hundred yards he stopped and lis tened. Some sound had caught his ear. It was the gallop of horsemen. He 'waited, dreading a neigh from his own horse, which he patted to bold her attention. The horsemen passed on down the road. "Ride on, brave boys." said Mark; "if you're after me, the faster you go in that direction the better I'll like it." In t i light of the waning moon be trampled over the shadows of. leaves as on a "crazy quilt." He cr'6ssed the Sequatchie by the ford over which Souri had guided ,him, and took care not to head too far ddwn the stream, as he bad done before. Then he cross ed the creek near the fallen log. He struck the road by which he had left Jasper just south of the fork at which Souri bad baited him. Wlthot hesi tating a moment .he struck out at a brisk canter over the left of the two raste one leading to Tr(c~y City. Markbadnever experienced such sensations as now. ; On his own fleet horse, his carbIne slung on his, shoul der, his pistol at his side, on the road to the Union camps, a wife k'bom he ~adored.to join nim'in case he should arrive safely-why should not the spirit within him fairly glow with hope?
